Mustang, the issue of trust and instincts is HUGE for CSA survivors. We thought we should trust our family, yet they betrayed us in the worst way. We were born with instinct and insight, yet it gets clouded for the above reason re: betrayal. So our instincts become confused or clouded. Books such as The Artist's Way, Simple Abundance, etc. help us to learn about trusting our instincts. I have a recommended reading list on my web site. Reading for self help is "bibliotherapy" which comes in handy when we can't afford or simply don't want psychotherapy. I can't tell you the number of times I did not trust my own instincts and got into real trouble.
